EDSAC

The EDSAC was the world’s first stored-program computer to operate a regular computing service. Designed and built at Cambridge University, the EDSAC performed its first fully automatic calculation on 6 May 1949. The WarwickUniversity simulator is a faithful emulation of the EDSAC designed to run on a personal computer. The user interface has all the controls and displays of the original machine, and the system includes a library of original programs, subroutines, debugging software, and program documentation

EDSAC 2 was a successor to the Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator. It was the first computer to have a microprogrammed control unit and a bit slice hardware architecture and was introduced early in 1958

Since opening at the end of 2013, over 5,000 children have visited the Centre. These children deserve a space which is engaging and instructive, where they can feel a sense of adventure, exploration and surprise!

To complete our refurbishment of the main gallery and create the permanent exhibition, Tech Odyssey, we need to raise £110,000. Odyssey will provide an opportunity for people of all ages to increase their knowledge, awareness and appreciation of the computing revolution and its global impact.

Please be assured that any amount you feel able to donate will make an immediate and significant impact.
